Benefits

Do we match your expectations?

Agile work

We do not turn Scrum into a religion, but into pragmatic reality. All development teams are guided by agile priniples with regular production deployments.

Modern technology

We focus on modern programming languages and technologies. You know your way around Scala, Go, Python, or K8S? Then you've come to the right place.

Software quality

Quality is our top priority. Code reviews and refactorings as well as lean, modular, tested code is part of our development culture. Not to forget,
we meet all criteria of the Joel-Test!

Challenging tasks

Our technology is sophisticated and so are we. You don't have to know everything to work with us, but a thorough education and a clear, analytical mind suit our DNA best.

Regular further training

Smart ideas are sacred to us. Therefore, all employees are entitled to five days of paid further training per year. Meetups, guest lectures and the weekly "lecture club" complete the picture.

Flexible working hours

Outside certain core hours, we offer you flexibility with regard to your working hours - always in consultation with your team, of course. Individual part-time arrangements are not unusual for us, either.

Removal allowance

We support applicants from abroad under certain conditions with relocation assistance and language courses. We provide all our employees with help and advice on moving and settling in.

Attractive metropolis

Cologne is more than carnival and the cathedral. Here you will work in one of the most lively metropolises in Germany, offering a huge range of cultural and leasure activities. And if you're keen to take part in carnival: The legendary Südstadt is just outside the door.

The best coffee

Shiny Espresso machine by ECM in Heidelberg with freshly ground craft coffee. A cool mineral water to go with it. But be careful: The ECM is a diva. You might need some practice.

About

What others say

I liked the relaxed, but also the professional atmosphere of the interview. Also, the interviewer and me seemed to have a common denominator on the methodology which maybe made it easier.

Offices

A place to work

Cognotekt has two locations in Cologne. The location Bonner Straße is located in a modern office building on the edge of Cologne’s Südstadt district. The location Auf dem Brand lies in the idyllic Rodenkirchen district on the banks of the river Rhine. Both locations are easily accessible by public transport.
